Mercury entered Leo August 8, at 8:13 a.m. EST. For the next 15 days don't be surprised if you or those around you don't begin to communicate in a roar! When Mercury changes signs, our style of communication and even thinking takes on subtle changes and affects us all. Mercury will move through the sign Leo at record speed!
Mercury rules the mind. The way we think and communicate with ourselves and others will shift.
Leo rules the Sun and the fifth house of the zodiac, and we may be thinking more about friends, entertainment, and love affairs. It leaves the sign of Cancer which is all about home and is far more emotional. We have experienced a lot of Cancer energy lately, and this Mercury placement will liven things up. While some may be content thinking about home, children and domestic matters, too much domesticity can make a diva boring.
I say diva because this is the style of communication this sign is prone to. Do not let your ego interfere to much in your communication. Also, as Mercury is a fixed sign we can become too set in our ways or too stubborn or proud. Be careful how you communicate with others and don't project too much of the lion!
Mercurial energy will change again on August 23, when it enters Virgo.
